“Lucian, Roxanne, I'll be heading back first. I'll come back to accompany the kids another day.”
As Lucian was in the study and Roxanne was in the bathroom, Sonya went to the second floor and called out to them.
There was, however, no reply even after a few seconds.
A bitter smile spread across Sonya's face. Yeah, I deserved it.
Surprisingly, Roxanne, who had just finished helping Estella wash her hair, rushed to the courtyard while drying her hands.
“Mrs. Farwell, it's late; drive slower. You can take Archie and Benny out to play when you come over next time.” Roxanne's eyes reflected her sincerity, and it was clear those were not words she said out of formalities.
Sonya was momentarily stunned before she nodded and replied with a smile, “Sure. I'll come over again.”
After sending Sonya off, Roxanne returned to the second floor and took out the bath towels and pajamas for Archie and Benny.
Just then, Lucian walked out from the study and reached out to wipe the sweat away from Roxanne's forehead. “Darling, you've worked hard!”
“I only help Essie get cleaned up. That's nothing much. Essie won't let me help her when she grows a little older. I don't have many chances left!”
“No. I'm talking about Mom. Thank you for being able to treat her so politely.”
Lucian's deep gaze resembled the mesmerizing night sky, drawing Roxanne's attention toward him.
“Frankly speaking, I still can't forgive her. It's just that I ought to set a good example for the kids since she treats them well. But there might still be opportunities. Perhaps she'll be an amazing grandmother in the future!”
Roxanne had finally said her innermost thoughts aloud.
Lucian wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace to hug her tightly.
“Daddy, Mommy, you two are secretly hugging again. I want one too! I want a hug too!” Estella's baby voice suddenly rang out, and she squeezed to fit herself between the two adults.
Meanwhile, Sonya had just arrived back at the Farwell residence.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Abandoned Wife (Lucian)
GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
Wish there was more to the story, like how the triplets end up and if the twins are as smart as their older siblings. Beautiful story 😊...
Very best book out there, full of surprises and true love. Recommend to all....
